-Vonderirig why he was called such a
funny name Toppy rather sounds as
if there must be a reason, and there
;wasl
Toppy Cottontail was all gray but
his tail and the very tip-top of his
Jicad those two places were white as
the snow. All his brothers had snow
white tails, too, but only he had the
white crown on his head. So, from
the very first minute she saw him, his
mother called him Toppy. ,
Toppy had been very happy all his
short life till just now, And unless
you are a rabbit yourself you can't
guess what, the matter wasnowl
The hunting season was on.
What of that. do-ou say?
guess you'd think a great deal of
it, if your father or your mother was
likely to be shot at any time they
foraged out for food.
Maybe it needn't matter so much
for the older rabbits (though it seem
ed to them just as bad), but you see,
Toppy was so much younger than
most ot tne rabbits, and he just
couldn't get along without his mother I
, She knew that and tried to he very
careful, but there came a day when she
simply had to go in search of food for
herself and Toppy,
She slipped around under hedges,
-through the tallest grasses and behind
the brush by the brook. "Almost
home," she whispered to herself when
she had a nice supply of food and was
making fast for home.
Then BINGJ
Over tumbled poor Mrs. Cottontail!
Little Toppy's mother was deadl
In his home under the brush, poor
hungry little Toppy waited and waited
and waitedl No mother came hornet
He cried himself to sleeti hungry
and cold and tired as he was I
t "Maybe she'll come in the morn
ing," he thought; but the morning
came, and no mother! T
' At last Toppy could stand ft no
longer. He must try to find her, and
get somcMing, to cat ai ne could.
Out tram his home he crept, slowly
nnd carefully.
Of course, he.4idn't know h!a way.
1 1
He was so very little. that he had never
been away from home as yet, ,
Across the meadow he worked Ihis
way slowly and painfully. How iiis
mother would have worried if she had
seen him for Toppy, all unconscious
of the danger, was going straight for
the farmyard!
Through the corner of the orchard
and there he saw a sight that com
forted him greatly. In a shut oft cor
ner of the farmyard was a big, com-
loriaiuc momer pig anil Her seven
brand new little nies! Tonnv saw tlim
gave a happy squeak of pleasure, and
crept up to her warm comfortable
body! And there he stayed. Kind
Mrs. Pjg took him in as one of her
own and cared for him, and he was
happy and safe and loved. Aren't
you glad?

Every Shoulder to the Wheel!
Without flurry, flutter or fussiness nnd one can bcc the
eagerness, earnestness and enterprise working smoothly and
expeditiously, delivering to ready and "busy-as-a-bec" cus
tomers the articles desired.
There is no droniness, no lumpish, listless attendants,
but intelligent, nimble-footed, spry service.
It is a disgrace for an attendant here to say
"I don't know:'
Such as have had too many irons in the Arc have found
less exacting places than this.
It is no place, this, for the indolent, potterer or
fooling-away timer.
A customer must find us ready nt 8:30, and it is not
necessary for any attendants to fix their hair or cover up
stocks until the first bugle sounds in the evening; and not
even then if there is a customer being served at the closing
signal.
Do show cvcribody real politeness to the full
and to the last minute.
There arc tens of thousands of our customers who
kindly give us the preference to come here to buy. They are
good to us and we must "be good to them."
If you know of anything lacking in your stock, it will
not be your fault after you have told your chief, even if you
have to do It ten times a day.
Our customers' needs must never be lost sight of for a
moment. You cannot be a meddler or a loser if you do your
full duty.

automobile and fur-lined coats.
There are the novelty small furs and the staple small
furs ermine, lynx, fox, skunk, fitch, mink and so on, all the
way down to the modest little Persian Paw sets, which no

of elastic at the top. There is length enough over the
cleared hips to keep a straight line without impeding the
movements,
The price is ?8. (Third Fioorcheuui

defllred. (Third Floor, Centra)
